New Jersey 2005 Guide Tells Tourists Where To Go

March 13, 2005

New Jersey has just released its 2005 travel guide, which includes sections on golfing and shopping, from antiquing to boutiques to outlet malls.

There is also a list of 101 fun things to do -- including some attractions that most visitors might not associate with New Jersey, like the Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove, where Western-style competitions are held May through September; and 11 locations around the state for skiing -- mostly cross-country but with a few lifts for downhill skiers.

The guide includes accommodations and restaurants, along with attractions like lighthouses, museums, parks and wineries, and also suggests itineraries for overnight and three-day getaways.

Guides are available from the New Jersey Office of Travel & Tourism, call 800-VISIT-NJ or see www.visitnj.org
